Produktbeschreibung
The protagonists in these short stories--young at the outset--become acquainted with life and its disappointments through the adventures and experiences narrated in the book's pages. They aspire to become doctors and lawyers, but also rock musicians, and they listen to songs that become the soundtracks first to love and then to their heartbreak. These beautiful and melancholy interconnected stories are about all the subtle disillusionments--and surprises--that accompany the end of youth and the awareness of that end. Additionally, these tales discuss memory, how people live with the past, and how it contaminates thoughts and feelings with the ghosts and the places left behind that can never again be revisited. Los protagonistas de estos relatos--jóvenes al comienzo--van conociendo la vida y sus derrotas a través de las aventuras y experiencias relatadas a lo largo del libro. Aspiran a ser médicos y abogados, pero también músicos de rock, y escuchan canciones que son banda sonora primero del amor y luego del desamor. Estas hermosas y melancólicas historias interrelacionadas tratan sobre todas las desilusiones sutiles--y las sorpresas--que acompañan el dejar de ser joven y el ser consciente al fin de que se está dejando de serlo. Además, estos cuentos tratan de la memoria, de la forma en que se vive con el pasado y de cómo éste contamina los pensamientos y las emociones con fantasmas y con lugares que se han dejado atrás y a los que nunca más se pueden regresar.
